Overview & Reviews

The new model year brings a handful of changes for the Mustang. V6 models can now get the Pony Package, which includes an upgraded suspension with larger stabilizer bars, 17-inch wheels, ABS, traction control, foglamps and unique trim. The GT gains two additional wheel options, both 18 inches in size, complemented by unique suspension tuning. An additional darker aluminum interior trim upgrade package is now available.

• Solid V8 power in GT models, about as well mannered as a car with a solid-axle rear suspension can get, slick retro interior, good cabin ergonomics.

• No side curtain airbags or stability control, seats could use more lateral support, low-grade interior plastics.

  Mustang GT Review - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By stanger - March 23 - 1:13 am

  My GT has been a pleasure; no problems so far and what I expected performance wise. The fit and finish is excellent and the retro look is a refreshing step back in time. Gas mileage is better than expected. I get 17 - 17.5 in stop and go city driving. I made one road trip of 660 miles and got 26.8 mpg at interstate speeds averaging 65 to 70 mph. Seating is very comfortable. Trunk space is surprisingly useful for a sporty subcompact (I do not have the Shaker 1000 which does eat up trunk space). The ride quality is very good on smooth flat surface; the expected bumps on broken surface. Acceleration is superb for a less than $30,000 automobile with a small V-8. Thumbs up to Ford.

  BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Alex - February 23 - 7:43 pm

  My parents surprised me with a 2006 black GT on Christmas eve. I was completely shocked. I have had the car for about 3 weeks now and am loving it. I recommend the Shaker 1000 stereo system. I has the 5 speed manual transmission which is smooth shifting and a short throw. It accelerates like none other! I also have the interior upgrade package with the red leather which looks incredible. I get compliments on the car every time i drive somewhere. The exhaust note turns heads all over. Great buy for 30,000 300HP car. Wont disappoint!

  Great Stang - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Mrtigger13 - February 12 - 10:00 pm

  I have owned three Mustangs now, a 89 5.0, 98 Cobra and now the 06 GT. Love the V-8 power, good torque curve, reminds me of the 89 5.0. I have a redfire deluxe. I like the cloth seats with the little Mustang ponies. The interior quality has gotten very good in the last few years. Handling is very good, very balanced, brakes excellent. I love the retro looks, tri-bar tail lights and the big driving lights in the grill.

  Loving it - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Boris - February 12 - 2:43 am

  If you dont mind the gas mileage its the perfect car. It is relatively inexpensive fast and unlike many imports lives up to its claimed specs. Above all else great aftermarket support and lots of mods.

  Mustang Man! - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By michael - January 28 - 3:23 pm

  This my fourth Mustang in 5 years. I just traded in my 2005 for a 2006. These new models ride better, are quieter, and look like a Mustang should. I get stares and compliments all the time. The engine is strong especially in third and fourth gears in the higher rpm range. The car handles well with the almost 50/50 weight distribution. The only problem I have had is with rattles. My 2005 was in the shop three times for this problem. My 2006 has a small rattle. Even so I would still highly recommend the new GT to anyone.

  Love it - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By kjbrick - January 12 - 3:03 am

  I got the black GT premium with 18" polished rims, charcoal leather, interior upgrade pkg. Ordered it in February and only took 6 weeks before it was mine. The was absolutely the best purchase I have made.

  Gm will have trouble going against this - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By John D - December 21 - 3:36 pm

  Got this car in April 2006 and its everything you could ask for. It has a 300 horse engine; buy a blower and will increase horsepower up to 456 if you wanted to. No lag on throttle and awesome radio; door panels cant take it with all the bass this car gives out. Everything you could ask for is right here. Car companies like GM and Chrysler have been making cars to go against a Mustang GT, but they have all been left in the dust. 0-60 in just 5 seconds is well worth it.

  Sleek Stang - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Ms295 - November 26 - 8:06 am

  Ive had my beautiful tungsten grey Mustang for around 8 months now. In that time I have driven it around 15,000 miles and I have enjoyed the ride. This is a great car to travel in and Im always getting compliments from other people. The car drives really well, with good acceleration and power for passing on the highway. While I love the outside look of the car, there is one issue with the interior which bugs the heck out of me...the dashboard. It creaks, moans, and it seems like it was never really put in the car correctly...or perhaps, cheap materials? I have told my Ford Dealership about the problem and they just act like, "no big deal." Anyways, that aside this is a fun ride!

  Best Car Ever Owned - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Patricia Johnston - November 2 - 8:13 am

  We have owned a lot of cars in 53 years of marriage. Our first was a 1947 Ford. We decided to get a "fun car" as we had not bought a car since 1990. We went to buy a Ford truck and ended up with a 2006 Mustang Pony, Premium package, black. This is the best ever. The ride is extremely quiet, no outside road noise. You can turn the radio way up and stand outside the car and you cant hear anything. Its well made, love the traction on turning and its just a beautiful automobile. We love this car!

  Not Your Fathers Mustang! - 2006 Ford Mustang
  By Stan The Man - October 27 - 9:16 am

  While vacationing in South Beach (Miami), my wife and I rented a convertible. We liked it so much we decided to buy one. But let me tell you this Mustang GT is no ordinary convertible! This car is much faster and handles better that advertised. The interior in our opinion isnt too shabby either! We really like the retro styling. It is quite similar to the Mustangs of the 60s and 70s. That is where the similarities end. The ride is unbelievable for a car this price. The interior is so quiet for a convertible And we havent been able to detect any cowl shake. With the tires provided (Pirelli Zero Neros) you have to go out of your way to make this thing slide even a little. A very nice car!
